    Re: Everyone Meet Illidan!

    If you don't think one mouse that your currently feeding is enough you can feed 2 in one feeding. As soon as he gets one down offer another. You could do that until you can get pups. My 213g killerbee female eats large mice, going to try to switch to rat pups soon. The pet store I bought her from was feeding small mice and they were way to small. But the large mice called arctic mice from pet smart weigh in around 20g give or take 1 gram or 2.

    Edit: sorry I thought you were still currently feeding small mice but I just went through again and you said prior to this. But still if you ever need to your allowed to feed more then one rodent if your snake won't switch to rats or if there is not other option.

    I could start feeding two large mice in the time being till he gets up to small rats.
    I really really wish online frozen rat sellers didn't just ship on mondays/tuesdays.

    I'll put an order in this weekend to get some rat pups and weanlings.

    How big around is he? My killer bee is about same weight as yours and I feed a 20g large mouse and its the same size as the thickest part of her. If your large mice are about the same thickness of the thickest part of your snake then you don't have to feed 2 until he gets bigger.

    That's what I meant, I probably should have clarified.
    He actually is almost as thick as a smallish small rat(37-43grams or so)
    I wouldn't be feeding him 2 large mice till he needs to be eating around 40 grams which at that point he should be on small rats anyways.

    I'll just order frozen rat pups online this weekend.

    Unless you plan on ordering a lot of pups its not worth ordering online. Shipping is the same no matter what. You could order pups and smalls and vacuum seal them and that way it will be worth the shipping cost. Plus you will have them already on hand when he's ready to switch.
